The airport has two independent systems to treat rainwater and sanitary wastewater resulting from airport operations.

Key facts:

• Rainwater passes through grease traps and runs towards a reservoir where a sedimentation process takes place prior to its final discharge.
• Sanitary waste water reaches the treatment plant where it undergoes several purification processes. The treatment plant can process up to 12 liters per second.
• The airport does not generate any uncontrolled discharges.

Curious facts: 

• Residual muds deriving from the treatment plant are re-used as organic fertilizers in the airport’s green areas. 
• Our internal policies require mandatory use of certified biodegradable products.
